Quite often, it is tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements merely by seeing specifications. The visual here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the FH22 and NX mini.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FH22 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX mini will produce more detail as a result of its extra 6.5MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The older FH22 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
